Help Katrena evacuate from Gaza

My name is Laila Saliekh, and I launched this fund to help evacuate my sister Katrena Saleh from G@z@.

Katrena, a Palestinian-Ukrainian living in Gaza, is in her sixth and final year of medical school. She is a passionate, life-loving, kind, and supportive sister and human being. She has been living alone in Gaza for the past 3 years as she still needs to complete her degree before reuniting with our family, who left Gaza to Sweden in search of a better and safer future, especially for our younger siblings.

Our plan was for Katrena to finish her studies, apply for a master's degree abroad, and begin her residency to become a doctor. We were excited and planning day and night for this future. However, it has not been easy.

With the war now in its fifth month, we have done everything we can to get Katrena out. The Ukrainian embassy refused to help without specifying the reason. A month ago, we attempted to "bribe" and paid a significant amount of money at the Egyptian border, yet received no response. We may have been scammed as we were desperate to help her with our remaining funds.

We have now identified a reputable company that could be Katrena's last opportunity to evacuate to Egypt or a safer location.

This fund aims to assist Katrena in crossing the border and securing a flight ticket to reunite with her family. We never imagined we would be in a position to ask for help, but we genuinely need your assistance. We have tried everything within our means so far.
